I may be wrong but I thought that the contents of the clipboard on my iMac should be cleared off each time I restart the computer. However, since buying Textsniper which grabs text from documents that do not make copy and paste possible, it appears that my clipboard just adds each new chunk of text to the end of the last lot and it is building up.
Does anyone know a simple way of clearing out the clipboard ? Thanks.

As I thought, TextSniper has the option of additive clips. Also, its own clear clipboard history function.
FWIW, the clipboard contents are replaced each time you do a copy or cut. It sounds like Textsniper is keeping previous content.
I think you are right, thanks for your view
Thanks for suggesting this. I had not noticed that TextSniper had this feature which was turned on. Now it is off, the clipboard works as I want it to. Thanks again.
I will bear this in mind if I have clipboard problems that are not linked to TextSniper.
You're welcome.
